Good pricing, helpful support, and easy to install for non-customized deployments
We primarily use the solution as a CRM for a call center While we already had a workflow, we already had so many tools and needed a better system, so we began to use Dynamics. When you have a vanilla, straightforward version, it is easy to use. Since it is Microsoft it runs the same interfaces…

Easy-to-learn platform with valuable integration capabilities
The impact of QuickBase's integration capabilities with other tools has been positive. I've successfully integrated it with two to three business applications, and the experience has been quite good. The seamless integration with different applications effectively enhances the in-house features. It is a more modular version of Excel, particularly beneficial for projects requiring collaboration across multiple locations. However, Excel remains a suitable option for teams situated in one location. Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment. It is easy for a beginner to learn to use QuickBase for the first time. The instructions, manuals, and videos provided within the tool are exceptional for learning how to use it. After viewing the videos, users can easily build applications with various features. I rate it as an eight. There's still room for improvement in the UI. Nevertheless, it is a useful tool. Sometimes, I notice a lag in the software during business hours due to the high volume of data being circulated. It needs to perform optimally. The feature to export data in a required format also has limitations, especially regarding the number of records that can be exported.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a good solution for enterprise-level companies."
"My access to Microsoft Dynamics CRM is limited, so I can only access the feature of registering the pipeline and activities. That feature is enough for me to do the job, and is what I find most valuable in the solution."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has a very nice UI, and is very easy to use. It's easy to install, has a lot of features, and provides good technical support."
"Compared to other partners, the most valuable aspect of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is its intuitive APIs, which are customizable and allow for the addition of multiple parameters and attributes. This feature enhances the purpose call in our services. Additionally, the learning curve for contact center agents using Microsoft Dynamics CRM is shorter than with other solution providers. Finally, the commercial aspects of Microsoft Dynamics CRM are superior to those of other solution providers."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM has good integration with the Microsoft Stack of solutions. However, the Salesforce ecosystem is stronger."
"One of the most useful features is we can configure Microsoft Dynamics CRM in the way that we need. This is configurable."
"I like that Microsoft Dynamics CRM works, and it's been okay. I like that it is a stable solution. My main reason for using it is that it is stable and meets our requirements from a functionality point of view."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Dynamics CRM is the flexibility with Microsoft Office 365."
"QuickBase reminds me when a software license or a hardware support contract is near expiration so that I can initiate our company's procurement process in time and not miss a deadline."
"The most valuable feature of QuickBase is its dynamic form capabilities. These forms allow backend automation, making tasks like updating data based on specific conditions much easier."
"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"Allows users have anytime/anywhere access."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"It has helped streamline and simply track status and collection of data from suppliers and other internal departments."
"It provides a well-organized method for overseeing everything, especially considering the remote work aspect."
 

Cons

"This CRM system needs to be more configurable. Its performance still needs improvement, because its screens hang while querying data. It's also not highly scalable, so scalability also needs improvement."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM can improve by adding more artificial intelligence. Additionally, they should add more modules, such as account-based management, that are available on other platforms such as salesforce.com."
"The mobile side of the product doesn't look that great right now."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve the built-in reports. The ones that are included are pretty generic unless you subscribe to Microsoft BI, which is an extra fee. They should offer the reports without having to purchase a separate subscription for Microsoft BI. However, the reports in Microsoft BI are fantastic."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by making the ports and dashboards more intuitive using Microsoft Azure analytical features. Compared to Salesforce and other partners, the dashboards in Microsoft Dynamics CRM are less intuitive."
"Microsoft Dynamics CRM could improve by making it easier to export data to SharePoint because most of our customers use SharePoint. They have to log into a Microsoft environment platform from their SharePoint for access should be made easier. Additionally, if the customer portal was enhanced for it to be customized it would be a benefit."
"I would suggest enhancements in customization and better integration for testing codes to improve the functionality of Dynamics CRM."
"I have contacted support. They are able to help but not in the right amount of time. I have had a horrible experience."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"I would like the product to add more working processes."
"Its UI needs improvement. They should improve it and make it a little bit more modern. We should also be able to have more real-time information that connects with other software platforms. It has an open API, but it doesn't always connect with some of the other platforms that we would like to utilize. These are probably two of the biggest things for us, and hopefully, they will keep ensuring that in the future, they continually build QuickBase to be a little bit more efficient in that regard."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve.​"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Dynamics CRM's pricing is fair."
"Pricing for this software could be cheaper."
"It's kind of pricey. It's about $50 or $60 per user."
"The customers that have Microsoft Office 365, the license price is competitive. It is competitive because the next solution above it is Salesforce, which is licensed quite high. The price annually was approximately $55 per user but we did a combination of users with some of them having the higher range of approximately $85."
"For the price of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, you receive a lot of comprehensive functionality. Additionally, it integrates very well. We pay approximately $100 a month to use the solution and we do not have any additional costs."
"It is a very comprehensive package. We get everything from Access to D 365. We get Microsoft's suite of tools. I'm not too sure about the pricing, but I can't imagine it being cheap."
"The solution is open source and is free. However, it does require a Dynamics 365 subscription."
"Licensing fees are paid on a monthly basis."
"Quickbase is probably not the cheapest app out there. That said, it is worth its weight in gold. There is no other app that I know of in the market today that can do what Quickbase does."
"The pricing for QuickBase is pretty straightforward, It is based on a per user/per month licensing fee."
"It is probably about 300 per license per person. There is just the licensing cost. There are no additional costs."
"The solution is expensive and geared toward enterprise-level clients."
"You have to negotiate the price because it varies based on the number of users you have, as well as how much cloud storage space you need."
"The pricing for the tier my company used included ten seats and the subcontractor, amounting to approximately $18,000 USD per year."
"We felt the pricing and licensing for QuickBase were easy enough to understand, fair and competitive."
"The product is cheap when compared to other products."
